    i wish we'd known about this place sooner, as we've been missing out! owned and cooked by a family from Italy, the authenticity and flavors are impeccable. great service, a nice room facing the golf course, nice patio, and a menu and wine list with tons of choices and a great value for the quality make this restaurant a must! we'll be back for sure.

    Fantastic! One of the best pizza I have ever had. Sat on the patio after a round of golf and stopped in for dinner. Will work this into the restaurant rotation going forward.

    Ordered the chicken Piccata and it never disappoints as a good dinner choice. However, the portion size has decreased significantly as I have had this dish on several occasions. One of our other dishes was the lasagna and was excellent in taste and portion size. Our third dish was the ravioli fantasia and it was an excellent portion of great tasting ravioli. The chicken cubes that accompanied the dish were hard and very dry. Finally, one of our previous deserts was the tiramisu. It used to be a signature dish and excellent presentation when served as a large slice on a plate. They now stuff it in a coffee mug and it looks awful and is much smaller than the previous version at the same price. I was disappointed to see a fine restaurant starting to compromise quality, portions and presentation while continuing to ask for higher prices. We will be back but not as frequently.

    Lucca our server was from Italy and made it feel like I was I in italy. He was a great server. And wow the pizza was amazing! Loved sitting on the deck under the stars. Only suggestions, check the chairs. Some are super wobbly and hard to sit on.

    Our usual experience has always been wonderful. This particular evening had very slow, inattentive service. My eggplant Parmesan was mainly breading with my pasta coming out lukewarm. My husband’s pizza was not what he ordered and the salads were mainly lettuce with minimal toppings. I am hoping this was an isolated incident.
